Default The reptile zoo

We had a reptile man in school today. It was fantastic, he brought a huge lizards plus other lizards and snakes and afew insects.
The children loved it and could handle everything.
He was really good with the kids (even the ones who could not sit still lol)

If its any use to anyone he has a website www.thereptilezoo.co.uk
I looked at the website when booking and we did not fit into his location bracket but he still came and was a good price.

Hope it helps someone

Clare

What a lovely site to share with everyone - especially for those in the Lancashire area.

I've enclosed a site for a mobile Farm which will visit schools, pre-school, nurseries etc in the Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Bedford counties. Perhaps an alternative to costly coach trips if you have the space for the animals.
Information is on the web site link below:

Animal Magic also has animals that visit settings and can be handled by children. The site for below is situated in East Sussex and will visit settings in Sussex and the London area.

I hope they are of interest to some of you.
